There is a well-known correspondence (due to Mehta and Seshadri in the unitary case, and extended by Bhosle and Ramanathan to other groups), between the symplectic variety
${{M}_{h}}$ of representations of the fundamental group of a punctured Riemann surface into a compact connected Lie group
$G$ , with fixed conjugacy classes
$h$ at the punctures, and a complex variety
${{\mathcal{M}}_{h}}$ of holomorphic bundles on the unpunctured surface with a parabolic structure at the puncture points. For
$G\,=\,\text{SU}\left( 2 \right)$ , we build a symplectic variety
$P$ of pairs (representations of the fundamental group into
$G$ , “weighted frame” at the puncture points), and a corresponding complex variety
$\mathcal{P}$ of moduli of “framed parabolic bundles”, which encompass respectively all of the spaces
${{M}_{h}}$ ,
${{\mathcal{M}}_{h}}$ , in the sense that one can obtain
${{M}_{h}}$ from
$P$ by symplectic reduction, and
${{\mathcal{M}}_{h}}$ from
$\mathcal{P}$ by a complex quotient. This allows us to explain certain features of the toric geometry of the
$\text{SU(2)}$ moduli spaces discussed by Jeffrey and Weitsman, by giving the actual toric variety associated with their integrable system.
